Triple Crown winner American Pharoah is the overwhelming 1-5 favourite in a 10-horse field for the Travers Stakes at Saratoga.

After the barrier draw on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) Frosted was made the second choice at 6-1 and Texas Red the third elect at 8-1.

The field from the rail out is: Upstart, American Pharoah, Mid Ocean, Texas Red, Frammento, Frosted, Keen Ice, Tale of Verve, King of New York and Smart Transition.
